Abstract

This study analyses the influence of intention on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) performance and behaviour following needlestick injury (NSI) handling procedures. This study utilised a qualitative and quantitative mixed method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews and observations. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyse ex-post facto data. The sample of this study consisted of 289 respondents. They were purposively and randomly selected from the population of all nurses (1,042 people) at Dr. Sardjito Education Hospital in Yogyakarta, with an accuracy level of 5%. Findings show that intention directly affected OSH performance and behaviour following NSI handling procedures. This was indicated by a coefficient of 0.779, z arithmetic value of 10.64 and a p value of 0.000 (<0.05). Intention was proven to have a significant influence on OSH climate and behaviour following NSI handling procedures. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
